The Kensington-Gerard Detective series follows the careers of NYPD Homicide Detectives Jessie Kensington and her partner Zachary Gerard as they fight crime in the city that never sleeps. Jessie is a good detective, but is damaged with commitment issues that have a fearsome grip on her present. Gerard’s been around law all his life as seen through the eyes of his father, a hotshot attorney with a reputation for racking up not guilty verdicts on his son’s cases. That only adds to their already tenuous relationship.
Greed, betrayal, sexual tension, threats on their lives, abductions, and missing witnesses makes for an ongoing parade of cases that seem unsolvable, but the fascination of seeing the evidence mount, regardless of setbacks, the pieces of the puzzle always seem to fit into a nice neat little package. In the end, persistence on Zach’s part opens Jessie’s mind to the fullness of a life her heritage has denied her. THE KENSINGTON-GERARD DETECTIVE SERIES IS CREATED BY K. T. ROBERTS

After physical therapy, Zach walked into the house and sat down to catch his breath before heading for the shower. The pain in his shoulder caused him to grimace. He clasped his right hand onto his wrist to move his left arm into a comfortable position, then popped three ibuprofens into his mouth, and slugged them back with water.


He'd had a challenging workout today, and despite the discomfort he felt, it was vital for him to push forward if he was ever going to gain full mobility, enough to get him back to work. Staying home was driving him crazy. The only good part about being home was he would be working with the wedding planner and being there for Jessie.


His thoughts briefly reflected on the day he'd gotten shot -- the day that put him in this predicament. Regardless of how it turned out, his priority was saving lives because it was more important than protocol.
